Subject: HELLO FRIEND.
Dear Friend,
Please read this message carefully to enable you understand the importance and urgency as regards to this transaction. I hereby Solicit for your Coperation in this very important buisness. My name is Mr. Aston Buston, i am the Internal auditor, BANK OF ENGLAND. There is an account opened in this bank in 1989 and since 1997 nobody has operated on this account again. After going through some old files as regards to this particular account I discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited and revert to this country government treasury after 11 years if there is no valid claim. Know we have only one(1) years left before this money will be Reverted away by the internal investigations department of Bristol & West into a separate Federation account.
The money involve is($10,000,000 USD)TEN Million US Dollars, In an account that belongs to a late foreigner(Mr Dahlig Mitchell). Mr Dahlig Mitchell, died on his way to a Conference in a Plane crash on the 6th day of August 1997 in Korean Air Flight 801.
This bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track this late man's family; they have investigated for years yet cannot found no family. The investigation has come to an end. My proposal; you share similar details to the late fellow; I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct our Securities Co to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half.
That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50.I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating to the deceased I will then officially communicate with my Bank Securities Co and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these two things: all is done. The alternative would be for us to have Securities Co, to direct the funds to another bank with you as account holder. This way there will be no need for you to think of receiving the money from the Securities Co. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions.
This money cannot be released unless someone applies for claims as the next of kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking rules. Unfortunately nobody has applied. Upon this discovery I have decided to make this transaction with you to represent as the next of kin. please note that this informations are very confidencial and i want the both of us to keep this to ourselves only untill this money finally gets to your account, pending my physical arrival to your country for sharing as agreed. I will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to any place, hope you understood.
I am a family man, I have a wife and children. I Want you to understand that secrecy and trustworthiness is the bed rock of our success as regards to this transaction, please observe that. I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learnt. Do not betray my confidence. As for your effort in assisting in claiming this money i will Religiously offer you 50% from the total sum, and 50% will be for me and my family.
I am waiting for your response.
You can also reach me through this E-mail Address(astonbuston3@yahoo.co.uk)
Thanks and God bless you.
Yours faithfullyMr. Aston Buston. Internal auditing officer.BANK OF ENGLAND.
